Section 468 The second test ship is broken
These craftsmen went crazy. They had no data on power, propulsion, etc. They picked a large steam engine, and their own weight was ten tons. The power of this thing could adjust the iron ingots of tens of thousands of stones. Because there was no larger iron basket or thicker iron cable, the limit of the machine was not tested.
On the ship, one-third of the five hundred materials were occupied by steam engines, one-third were coal, one-sixth of the spare water, and only one-sixth of the cabin was just enough for the crew to move.
I saw the boat on the sea, with the bow off the water, half of the hull raised, one-third of the position behind the hull was spinning rapidly, and the ship speed was visually estimated to exceed the speed of fifty kilometers per hour.
On the boat, Wu Tie, one-armed, was still yelling: "Add force, increase force, increase force."
The first two strong men were so tired that they couldn't even lift their arms. This time, four people frantically added coal to the stove. The blower was turned to the maximum, and the furnace was burning to the dark red. The boat speed was raised again. When he went around a big circle and returned to the shore, the boat speed had reached an astonishing speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
Then……
The ship cracked, the hull began to deform, and the hull began to twist.
As the ship was about to break, the captain shouted that everyone would jump the ship while adjusting the angle, allowing the ship to use its last power to rush directly to a shallow.
The ship was broken, and the huge steel steam engine carried paddle wheels and iron racks continued to rush forward, rushing to a position of one hundred steps on the shore. Many trees broke and two houses were left.
Liu An covered his face and laughed: "It's interesting, it's interesting, they're doing it so beautifully."
"His grandma's." Pan Weixi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This thing is good, this thing is so good. With this speed, I can run back and forth from Hangzhou to Chameng in two days."
It is impossible. It takes several days and nights to travel from Chameng to Hangzhou, after all, it is thousands of kilometers.
The ship was destroyed, and the steam engine was not damaged much. It was just that the furnace body sprayed a lot of boiling water to burn a few birds, and the fish that the ship brought to the shore when it rushed to the shore.
Recreation.
This time I changed it to a small trumpet, and the power is almost the same.
The speed of the sailboat in the Song Dynasty and the small speedboat are the speedboats that are only used by crew members to deliver letters and patrol. The fastest speed can reach about 18 knots. Liu An's gunboat can reach about 1,500 pieces of materials, which is already an extremely fast speed.
Cargo ships, especially big belly trough ships, are filled with food and are covered with side winds. When the wind is normal, they are only three knots at the slowest, and the fastest downwind does not exceed seven knots. Sometimes they can't run against the wind.
Liu An’s requirements are not high, so it is excellent to make the heavy cargo ship reach a speed of 15 knots.
Liu An asked about the ocean-going cargo ships departing from Guangzhou Port that they had traveled to the Mediterranean, which took about 80 days.
Create, rebuild.
After a madness, this time I changed into a semi-finished five hundred-material light military warship.
This time the speed was a little faster, and about seven days later, the ship was preparing to test sail again.
There is no crazy super-large steam engine, only a small one, with a volume of only seven feet long, four feet high and two feet wide.
During the trial sail, the speed of the ship was a little slower than the sails and the wind. But everything on the dock was very satisfied with the result. No one could encounter a complete wind in the sea for several days, and it was basically crosswind.
It is already very satisfying to achieve the speed of sailing smoothly.
Pan Weixi grabbed Zhang Zhaoyun: "Brother, tell me how big a ship could the big guy that day be driven by this?"
"Is it yours?"
"No?"
"It probably won't work. The ship is too big and the paddle wheel has its limits, so after they develop the underwater propeller, they will transform the sea ship in large quantities. It should be very good for canal transportation at present."
Pan Weixi said: "Build a beautiful one and then send a reliable one to Bianliang."
"Bianliang?"
"certainly."
Zhang Zhaoyun understood: "Okay, I'll give a gift to the official."
As long as you don’t care about spending money, there is nothing you can’t make.
The generals of the navy saw the benefits of the steam engine. Yang Yanzhao and several generals recruited from Hebei, Quanzhou and Guangnan arrived, and Liu An then brought everyone to the meeting.
"Everyone, in terms of seniority, you are all my uncles, and all the elders here are. I want to talk about some major things today."
No one answered, and everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the steamship.
Liu Anxian said: "The ticket number is out of money, and there is not much money on the small account. The uncles and uncles have not returned the money for selling weapons. They have made steam engines, studied new steel, and built large ships. These things cost money like flowing water. Yesterday I checked it. The Mingzhou Military Port owed Hangzhou and Jinling Merchant Alliance food, cloth money, coal money, iron ore money, etc., and went for ten million yuan in millions of yuan."
How many ten million coins are there?
If you change it to rice, you will be at least 5 billion.
If the two major business alliances were not rich and powerful, they would have gone bankrupt if they were replaced by a certain business.
Liu An took out the letter from the emperor to him: "The official said, let me send 30 million yuan to Bianliang for three months. I have to agree to this matter, and it cannot be discounted. Why?"
Speaking of this, Liu An put the tiger talisman on the table: "Just relying on the government's trust, the treasury will pay 50 million jin of military expenses. I mean, I will give 55 million jin of military expenses to the treasury."
"Sixty million." Pan Weixi was not rich, but he knew better than anyone else how much a royal city was worth.
The value of a royal city in Qu Yue's small country is 50 million pounds of direct profit.
The Japanese had a population of four million, and Pan Weixi thought to himself that he could not get 200 million, and this battle would be in vain.
No one here except Pan Weixi has ever done such a thing as selling someone else's royal city to a merchant, except Liu An.
Yang Yanzhao suddenly whispered: "Is this considered... opening the border?"
Cao Wei glared at Yang Yanzhao: "What you want to say is invading other countries. Is there any demerit or law?" Yang Yanzhao did not dare to answer the words. Even if he had thought so, he would not dare to say it out at this time.
He ranks at the bottom of this table by military rank, title, identity and qualifications.
Liu An said: "Let the Battle of Baijiangkou be held again, or wait for the Japanese to learn enough of our culture, technology, shipbuilding, smelting, etc. Their small Japanese island cannot accommodate so many of their rapidly growing populations. When they expand, they will fight to Goryeo, cross the Yalu River, and then to Changbai Mountain, and then we will promote the army of justice?"
